4.2: Determine Roles and Resources

Finding Opportunities through Program Assessment

Allergan has, since analyzing its approach to energy management using the Energy Star program evaluation tool, continued to improve its program over the past five years by adding and improving its program through the gaps identified. Allergan has developed facility specific metrics which are tracked with achievement goals set. Finding that the opportunities discovered at even fully seasoned sites continue to present themselves. We have ensured that we continue to educate and train employees at all levels on the benefits and opportunities for energy consumption reduction. Metering and measurement has continued to fill in gap areas across all plant sites. This has lead to more opportunities being identified to further reduce the energy footprint. In 2010 alone Allergan achieved an absolute 2% reduction in energy consumption and GHG emissions reduction on top of the absolute 6% reduced in 2009. For the five year period beginning in 2006 and ending in 2010 with 2005 as the baseline year, Allergan was able to achieve more than an absolute 10% reduction for each parameter, far exceeding our 5% goal for the period. These opportunities have also allowed Allergan to reap financial rewards which include more the $5 million in costs savings. The use of lean and six sigma tools and approaches has also taken hold. These tools allow measurement and analysis of various systems and data. The use of these tools has allowed the program to expand again and get a wider involvement from the management teams. These approaches continue to show positive results for every facility using them.
